Turning back the clock 12 months to IBC 2024, two emerging technology trends were subtly laying the plumbing for the next generation of live video. These were Media over QUIC (MoQ) and JPEG XS—a pair of streaming protocols attacking latency at different layers. So, could IBC 2025 mark a turning point for MoQ and JPEG XS? From the intelligence picked up by Faultline, neither technology is moving mountains, yet. Word of active deployments in the wild for either MoQ or JPEG XS are virtually non-existent, yet still they are mentioned repeatedly at technical conferences and in vendor product announcements. Both are about removing friction. Using QUIC, WebTransport, and HTTP/3, MoQ attacks latency at the distribution layer by moving live video…
